6. Leadership and Self Awareness with Becky Heyse

On this week’s episode, I chat with an Air Force friend, Becky Heyse, who I met very early on in my career and continues to impress me with her leadership skills as well as her authenticity. Becky is a public affairs officer in the U.S. Air Force. During her 12-year career she has served in a variety of roles and locations around the world serving as an official spokesperson for senior leaders, leading teams of more than 20 people and serving as a mentor to Afghan government officials. She is currently a student at the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.During our chat, we dive into her discovery of self awareness as a leader as well as learning how to focus on her strengths instead of trying to offset her weaknesses.  This is a great episode for anyone trying to figure out how to learn more about themselves while leading a team.  Reach out: leadintoitpodcast@gmail.comInstagram: @leadintoitLogo Design: Kamry Rose Creative, kamryrosecreative@gmail.com   Becky’s Instagram: @beckyhi_cPS:  Also, there is a point in the episode where I completely mess up a quote! This is the quote I was trying to reference: Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. -Albert EinsteinDISCLAIMER: Any opinions or comments made by host, Sara Greco, and any guests are their own and not endorsed by the U.S. Air Force or Department of Defense.
